There was some trading and s~peculat-
ing fn Silver Crown mining property,
although with the exception Of one deed
which was filed for record there is but
little ss yet in black and white to show
what the transactions are. The fact is
mentioned, however, as going to show
that on the completion of the new furnace
which is now being put in at the mines,
the boom" will m there, and it
Is probable that within sixty days there
will be such an activity in mining matters
in hat district as it has never experienced
before.

A Probable Arrangement.

From present appearances it is appar-
ent that the Burlington & Missouri people
propose to con iuct a good share of its
operations from Cheyenne. Such being
the case, it is understood on pretty good
authority that arrangements will be made
to lay the track and connect Cheyenne
with Sterling, in Colorado, as soon as pos
slble, and before the grade work is ready
for the rails farther eastward.

The Organ addition to Cheyenne and
also what will be called the barrow addi-
ton will be filed in the Office of the county
clerk to-day or to morrow. The Organ
addition will be situated a short distance
southeast OF the Kelly addition and will
embrace lands lying on both sides of the
Union Pacific railroad.
If parties filing these additions would
give one lot in each block to parties who
will erect suitable buildings thereon they
would make money thereby, for the bal
ance of the lots would be much more
saleable.

Only a few months ago, In India, In n
certain planting district there was a
notorious man eater. Two gentlemen, A
and B, residing together on an estate, had
lost, besides other employees, two chowke-
bars, or native watchmen, within a few
days, Ii the unfortunate men had been
actually carried off out of the veranda of
the bungalow. A and b therefore deter
mined to clothe themselves like natives,
and sit during the night, armed, in the
veranda, in the hopes they might be able
to get n shot at the man eater, who, they
thought, might probably return to the
spot which had already provided him with
two victims.
They proceeded to carry out his inten-
ton, and sat up till about 2 or 8 O'Clock
a. m, but nothing appeared. A then said
he should not stay up any longer, as he
did not believe the animal would come;
hut B announced his intention of Whiting
half an hour longer by himself. There
were large windows opening down to the
floor of the veranda, and through one of
these A retired, and after entering his
room, had just closed the window, and
was gazing out for an instant, when he
saw a dark mass land in the veranda,
right on to his friend, then heard sounds
of n scuffie, n a cry for help. Selling
his rifle to which a sword bayonet was
attached, and hinging up the window, he
rushed out, in time to see b walking down
the steps that led up to the yeranda
alongside of the tiger, with his hand in
the latter's mouth.
A was afraid to fire lest he should hit
his friend, so, running after him, he, with
admirable presence of mind, went up to
the tiger, and, p%lunging his bayonet into
the animals body, at the same instant
fired. There was a roar and a scuf1e,
and b took advantage of the moment to
release his hand, and the tiger, after
tumbling, died. BIS hand was terribly

which is still on our table for public inspec-

5. c. 1t is small tree thorny shrub from
the south of France, bearing an oval, reddish
plum, about the size of an olive and enclosing
an obiong stone pointed at both ends. II Is of a
sweet, clammy taste, from which the ''jujube
paste" is made. II is served up at the table in
Italy and Spain during winter as dry sweet
meat. The tree is grown in hedge rows about

from the Patent Office. They would probably
require about the same culture as the pome-

About four years ago our Junior discov-
cred clump of this thorny shrub in full
bearing, on the old Y. II. Roughton home
stead, in the southern portion of our city,
and through the courtesy of the family was
allowed to transplant one of them At the
time of their discovery we did not know
the name of the fruit but upon search in
horticultural works found the description
of the jujube to fit exactly the shrub
found Subsequent investigation devel-
oped the fact that the tree was originally
grown here by the late DR.. James X.
Smith, on the premises now owned by Dr.
I. NJ Harris from seed sent out by the
Patent Office, and the bunch on the Rough
ton place had grown a small switch pro-
cured by Mr. H. C. Roughton, when boy,
from DR.. Smith. Passing Dr. Harris place
few days ago, now occupied by Mr. O.
Richards, we noticed that the growth of
young shrubs has spread over greater por-
ton of the old vegetable garden. The tree
is also to be found on the premises of Miss
M. w. Perry and B. w. McKinnon. The
shrub is quite ornamental, and its tiny
white blossoms almost rival the tea olive in
fragrance

A COUNTY-LINE DANCE.
The Early Settlers of Four Greeks
Have Shindig Match.


From the Monroe (Ga0 Nems
Near the line between Walton and Gwin-
nett counties there are four creeks close to-
gether-Big creek and Little creek, Gum
creek and Cornish.
When that part of the country was first
settled there was in everything great rivalry
between the settlers living ON these differ
ent creeks. Especially did they vie with
each other in all manly sports and in the
beauty and sprightliness of their maidens
They danced great deal around the
creeks and such distinctive pastime did it
become, and such great pride did the young
people take in cutting a nice pigeon-wing
and knocking TIE backstep, nothing would
do but grand dancing contest So the
buxom lasses and stalwart young SWANS of
Big and Little creeks, Gum creek and Corn
ish went to dance 1t out.
An immense fat rock, on neutral ground
was selected, and the dancers made ready
for the fun. 1t was mighty conclave, a
giant tussle, a wool-pulling, so to speak, for
the supremacy A day didn't settle it;
night didn't settle it, and with wild hap
piness and abandon the youths and maidens
continued to ''swing on the corner" until
many suns and moons had gone down on the
never ending dance.
Old Jack Beasely was chief musician, and
jolier white man never drew breath
Mingo, a colored man, played second fiddle
Jack Beasely would open the sets invariably
with big erik and Little erik form on the
right; Gum erik and Cornish ON the left.
Gentlemen, bear light on the ladies' hands
and set to yer pardnern Then after this
delivery, with mighty sweep of his bow
and set to from the partners, the music and
the frolic would commence.
The widest enthusiasm prevailed Men
and women danced out their shoes and then
went it barefoot
Eyewitness tell it that after it was all
over they raked up half a bushel of toe
nails at the great dancing match between
Cornish.
